I purchased the SYRIA map, but I can't download it.

I preordered the SYRIA map a while back and when it came out on Friday, I was excited to download and check it out. However, the module manager does not have it and I cannot download it.

Now I read in the Customer Support notes that new modules are released for Open Beta and would be released for Stable at a later time. I had OB and stable on my drive, but they both were taking up a lot of room so I deleted OB. Okay, with that being said, when can I expect the SYRIA map to be available on Stable?

Since the Open Beta versions have been getting groomed more before release, I suspect it will be a short wait.

 

OR

 

You can run this command line from the folder where the updater lives to switch your install;

 

DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta

I am having the same problem. Did it work?

Hi lodar. The aforementioned command does work, yes. When lauched, it updates your stable version with the open beta branch latest version, which means you won't be able to join MP servers running the current stable version.

 

Of course, you can revert whenever you want, using this command:

 

DCS_updater.exe update @release

(more info here)

Is there a video? I have never done something like that.

If you have never used the command prompt you should probably try SkateZilla's updater GUI instead: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053

If you have the room you can just download and run open beta as well

It is an independent install

[lodar]

Thanks fellas. Is it happening because its an early release? Would it get fixed later?

[Flappie]

Open Beta (OB) and Release are two different development public branches. Each new feature gets publicly tested in the OB first. When ED feels the OB version is working fine, they push it into the Release branch.

 

The Syria module is a brand new feature which was introduced in the OB 6 weeks ago, among other things (aircraft modifications as well as core functions modifications). It should make its way to the Release "soon™". If you don't want to install OB, you have to be patient.

Thank you
